[Domination]

Good pick by KC, & Da Bears just missed out

 

[LHUCKS]

Ravens get Smith...great pick this late.

Fits in well with Baltimore as Gruden stated....good pick.

[GroveDiesel]

Excellent move by the Saints IMO.

 

[Buckna]

Bowe value just took a hit.

 

[Penguin]

Saints call Atlanta's all in

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Great pick for KC. Cassel value up.

disagree. cassel doesnt keep plays alive, throw up jumpballs. baldwin's good stuff isnt that much different than bowe. also think baldwin was mid second, big reach. cassel is mediocre, will be exposed vs tougher schedule.

 

[flapgreen]

Anxiously awaiting the Bears to screw this up.

 

[LHUCKS]

Bowe value just took a hit.

not really

 

[RebelINS]

Love, love, LOOOVE Ingram to the Saints. Obvious #1 rookie pick.

 

[Buckna]

NO trades up for Ingram. Very nice...

 

[LHUCKS]

Ingram is value...no question.

[flapgreen]

Please Carimi.

 

[The Sniper]

Now that Ingram is gone, look for Bowers to the Pack.

 

[shader]

I was worried about Ingram's chances if he went to a team with a bad oline. On the Saints? Wow, he's going to be good. Not thrilled about splitting time with Thomas for 2010...But he is going to a great place. He will help New Orleans a lot. Pierre Thomas and especially Chris Ivory owners just threw up.

What player would you like to see for them?

 

[Raiderfan32904]

NE picks at 33 anyways and they get an extra 2 this year and a 1 next year. Ridiculous.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Matt and I on for one more hour live here

Sig, just started listening to the livecast. What do you and Waldman think are the best picks so far?

Green, Fairley, Quinn, Amukamara, Ingram

 

[Jene Bramel]

Now that Ingram is gone, look for Bowers to the Pack.

Not sure I like Bowers as a 3-4 OLB.

every year. rinse repeat

Big kid from Wisconsin

We'll have to agree to disagree, but I like the extra target for KC here, a big need. Plus Nnamdi is out of the division, which certainly helps.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Now that Ingram is gone, look for Bowers to the Pack.

How would Bowers fit the 3-4?

 

[Buckna]

Bowe value just took a hit.

not really

How so? They aren't exactly a passing powerhouse. Sustaining 2 fantasy WR's is rough to do. Bowe is in the last year of his contract and his team just spent a 1st on WR.

 

[RebelINS]

New Orleans is perfect for Ingram. They can use Bush the way they'd like and split carries with Thomas, I think Ingram will keep fresh and have some great games but still have a boom or bust potential with some 40 yard games on limited carries. He has the skills to get 'er done.

 

[whoknew]

Nice moment on ESPN for Ingram.

I hope he is really good.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Four picks left for the evening. Bears pick is in.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Chicago grabs Gabe Carimi, OT Wisconsin.

 

[WVU Alum]

I was worried about Ingram's chances if he went to a team with a bad oline. On the Saints? Wow, he's going to be good. Not thrilled about splitting time with Thomas for 2010...But he is going to a great place. He will help New Orleans a lot. Pierre Thomas and especially Chris Ivory owners just threw up.

I imagine PT just got his "pack your bags" hint. Think he is traded as soon as FA opens.

 

[RebelINS]

Please Carimi.

They didn't screw it up by you estimation.

 

[icecat4270]

Woo Hoo! Love it! Carimi!

 

[flapgreen]

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Anxiously awaiting the Bears to screw this up.

What player would you like to see for them?

Big kid from Wisconsin

You got what you wanted. He's a very good player. Big fan - hoped he would fall to the Pack at 32.

 

[David Dodds]

good selections here late. Chicago got their guy.

 

[uwgb96]

Chicago grabs Gabe Carimi, OT Wisconsin.

 

[RebelINS]

Sucks the round is almost over. I wish there was more to go.

 

[flapgreen]

Please Carimi.

Good value by Bears there.

I definitely expect Thomas to be traded. Good player who could just never stay healthy.

He's twice the back Thomas is. Ingram might take awhile to take over the starting role, since Thomas is the vet with the ring....but Ingram will be the man in time.That system is perfect for him. Ivory and Thomas were average talents that did well due to huge running lanes and a great offensive coach.Ingram is a GREAT talent. Perfect fit for dynasty purposes. Re-draft it's kind of a mess, but we'll see.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Leshoure to Green Bay?

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Chicago grabs Gabe Carimi, OT Wisconsin.

Interesting pick here. Good value, but he comes from a run-dominant program in Wisconsin. Now Mike Tice will work him in to the line for Mike Martz' offense. Stock up for Forte I think and Tice should work him in nicely overall. Good pick for the Bears.

 

[Jene Bramel]

Now that Ingram is gone, look for Bowers to the Pack.

Not sure I like Bowers as a 3-4 OLB.

Think Brooks Reed, Akeem Ayers, Bruce Carter better fits. Jabaal Sheard, too.

They been needed a guy like that for a long time. Couldn't be happier for once in a Bears draft.

 

[RebelINS]

Please Carimi.

Good value by Bears there.

They need all the help they can get to handle that Lions D-line, should be very interesting. Love the NFC North in the coming years.

 

[Lash]

crap, thought i dodged the bullet

/Pierre&Ivory owner in multiple leagues LOL

 

[LHUCKS]

Baldwin is two years away IMHO and Bowe will go to the highest bidder if he gets the chance.

 

[LHUCKS]

Pierre and Ivory have always been marginal talents...let's not pretend this is some huge surprise.

Re-draft it's kind of a mess, but we'll see.

I agree with you totally but I actually hope NO eases him in and gives him 12-15 carries a game before handing over the reigns. I'm as high on Ingram as anyone and think he'll be great he has all the tools IMO.
